smartwatch

Are you among those who were smart enough to get in on that killer Omate Kickstarter project? Awesome! Here’s a quick official preview of the TrueSmart smartwatch which provides a glimpse of the forthcoming device. Didn’t get involved in the Kickstarter? It’s all good, this will likely help change your opinion. After all, there’s a reason this went on to eclipse one million dollars in backing!

It seems that smart watches are a bit of a theme at this year's CES. Motorola debuted an MP3-focused smart watch (though not Android based), and earlier today we told you about the I'm Watch. As an upgrade to the LiveView that they released last year, Sony revealed the SmartWatch (which begs the question of what we're supposed to call other smart watches). The SmartWatch sports a 1.3-inch color OLED touchscreen that displays information from your phone when the two are paired together.

As technology progresses, it's inevitable that it's going to find more and more niche places to insert itself. The smartwatch, in particular, is a product that's had several attempts at consumer adoption with little success. It was either due to price or appearance.
